Radio Menu

Tycoon cockpit actions are in the DCS radio menu, not on the F10 map. F10 does not open the radio menu: it selects Other after the radio menu is already open.

On the ground, open the radio menu with #.
In the air, open it with Alt+#.
Press F10 to select Other.
Choose Tycoon for general actions or Cargo for internal crate handling.

Key bindings may differ when a DCS control profile has been changed.

Site	Smoke colour
Source	Green
Factory	Blue
Hub	Orange
City	White

Smoke appears roughly 120 metres to the right of the approach. Fire flare launches a red signal flare directly from the selected site and can be requested again after 30 seconds.

Drop illumination bomb lights up the selected site at night: the bomb ignites 1000 metres above the site's ground level (never above your own aircraft) and slowly descends. It can be requested again after 5 minutes.

Storage

Storage takes crates out of the stock of the site you are at. Pick the cargo, then how many crates you want.

Entry	Crates taken out
Spawn max free slots	As many as your aircraft has free slots, even beyond its rated payload.
Spawn max payload	As many as stay within your aircraft's rated payload.
Spawn 1 / 2 / 4 / 6 / 24 crates	The fixed number, or whatever is left if the site holds less.

Some of a site's crates may first have to be brought out of its storage. That takes a few seconds, and the crates appear once they have arrived. Where they appear depends on the site and your aircraft, see Cargo.

Messages you may see:

Message	Meaning
`bringing N more <cargo> from storage…`	The crates are on their way; wait a few seconds.
`only X of Y <cargo> requested are in storage - spawning what is available`	The site holds fewer crates than requested. You get all of them.
`out of range for cargo here (X m away, max Y m)`	Too far from the site: 500 m at an airfield, 100 m for an airplane at a pad. Nothing is taken out.
`no room to place cargo near your aircraft`	No free space behind the aircraft. Move a little and try again.
`rated payload already reached`	Spawn max payload has nothing left to add. Use Spawn max free slots to load beyond it.
`cargo bay full`	No free slot left.

At an airfield, the first row Stored x/y shows how full its shared storage is.

Pin Projects

Adds a User Marker to the F10 Map. To open it, click on the red circle or toggle all markers with this button in the F10 Map:

Cargo

After opening the radio menu and selecting F10 Other, use the top-level Cargo entry whenever a Torque Tycoon crate moves between the ground and the aircraft's internal cargo hold. DCS's built-in rearm/reload and cargo-loading menus do not recognize Tycoon crates. Slingloads use the helicopter's cargo hook and are detected separately.
